It's possible he's referring to the food carts which would certainly qualify as
Mom-and-Pop in many cases.

Most (all?) of the businesses on Sansom St. between 34th & 36th are at
least independent and would qualify, I think.

I think of "Mom & Pop" as a real estate term with business connotations.
this is all pretty interesting, how the term 'mom and pop'
can mean different things to different people -- anything
from a food cart, to upscale places like modern eye and
white dog, to non-upscale places like greek lady or last
word, to franchised chains like metropolitan bakery or bucks
county coffee or 7-11...
the article seemed to want 'mom and pop' to mean
'non-upscale', 'non-chain', and to imply that they were the
established norm that needed 'mixing in' with:
Taken together, these new retail opportunities [ems, starbucks] represent a
move toward the University's goal of providing more upscale
options to mix in with the mom-and-pop operations on campus,
Datz said.
but whatever was meant, I think we can all agree that the
'mom and pops' that are 'on campus' are ultimately (with few
exceptions) all dependent on some kind of permit/leasing
arrangement with penn? and so any 'mixing in' goal that's
going on is really just 'more of the same'?
